All, |

lua has been behind in Gentoo for a while, but I have time now to start |
4 |
working on fixing that this coming week, so consider this a heads-up |
5 |
that things are going to start happening with regards to dev-lang/lua |
6 |
and its dependencies. |
7 |
|
8 |
Upstream does not support liblua as a shared library, and they do not |
9 |
support installing multiple versions of lua onto a system. After |
10 |
conferring with the other lua maintainer, the decision has been made to |
11 |
remove this custom support from our lua package as well. This has been |
12 |
talked about many times upstream. They do not want it, and using |
13 |
liblua as a shared library causes performance issues. |
14 |
|
15 |
Since that support never came out of p.mask, I will be removing it this |
16 |
weekend or Monday at the latest and committing the next version of lua |
17 |
to ~arch. |
18 |
|
19 |
Once we get the tree fixed, I will address the lua overlay, preferably |
20 |
we can address it by migrating things there to the tree. |
21 |
|
22 |
I will be around most of the time next week, so I will be able to follow |
23 |
up on issues. |

Thanks, |
